After performing sobriety tests and a breathalyser, Giovinazzo was taken into custody, although the policeman praised his conduct throughout the incident.

"During transport Carmine repeatedly apologized to me and told me he didn't want to be an 'asshole' and he thanked me many times for not treating him like a criminal and showing him respect," the officer wrote in his report. "Carmine was very polite and co-operative with me throughout the investigation."
